Harnessing the Marangoni Effect in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong report how solution shearing of organic semiconductor crystals is influenced by a surface tension gradient. Using a Marangoni-effect-assisted bar coating method, ultrathin, uniform layers of crystals with large domain sizes are obtained that show excellent performance in organic field-effect transistors.

Treatment of Exhaust Air Released at Laser Coding
When laser coding of PVC hydrochloric acid containing air arises. Thus, Friatec launched a fume scrubber with a corrosion-resistant filter system.
Nylon Evolves into a New Polymer
DuPont launched nylon in 1939. Now, almost 80 years later, the company overhauled and updated nylon for the 21st century and made it 3D printable.
Mechanisms of Carbon Nanotube-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Physicochemical Characteristic Perspective
Pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes can result in direct interaction with cells in the lung and result in an increased myofibroblast population thereby enhancing fibrogenesis, the severity of which is determined by physicochemical characteristics of the nanotubes and genetic susceptibility.
